I don’t know why it has taken me so long to read this book truly. It has been on my tbr for FAR too long 👀 Once I got into the story, I absolutely ate up Leigh Bardugo’s writing! Her characters + their backstories and how we find out those backstories through the progression of the book had me gasping for breath it felt like every ten minutes. So many twists and turns in this one. Overall, I really liked reading Ninth House and plan to pick up Hell Bent (the sequel) soon to hopefully get some more Darlington. we need more Darlington.
What I loved:
♡ ba anti-heroine
♡ the audiobook was brilliant
♡ gothic uni setting
♡ well-painted characters
♡ plot twists for days
♡ magical houses + secret societies
♡ unrelenting tension
♡ darlington. 🫶🏻
♡ “there were always excuses for why girls died”
